We want to know! We're curious what you guys are getting for MPG's in your Jeeps after you've installed your lift and bigger tires! Make sure to include some of the specs of your JL like 2 or 4 door, which engine option you have, hard or soft top, etc! Make sure you include how much lift you went with and what size tires you're running!

It doesn't have to be just using one of our lift kits either! In fact, you don't have to say what manufacturers lift you're running at all! We're just interested to hear about everybody's individual experience after your lift kit/tire install. This is a question we get asked a lot so I figured it could help a lot of you on here out if you're curious as well.

Feel free to include pictures if you'd like!

I have a 2019 JLUR with the 2.0 engine. I'm running the MOPAR lift with 37x12.50R17 BFGoodrich KM3's. I have 33,000 miles on the Jeep and have kept track of all the gas and miles I've put in it. I've had the tires on for the past 24,000 miles. My average right now is sitting at 17.7. I run the hardtop in the winter and a soft top in the summer.

I’m getting 17-19 on the highway, after weekend of wheeling it goes down to 12-13....:facepalm:. I’m on a RK lift running Dirty Life bead locks wrapped in 37/ 12.50/17 nittos. It’s a 3.6, 8 speed auto JLUR. Something to consider in my case, it’s relatively flat where I live so I haven’t re-geared yet , still on 4:10 gears and I still see 8th gear albeit not as often as I used to.........
